Born to a Portuguese mother and Belgian father, Sofia graduated with an EMBA from the Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne (EHL) and led the membership team at Discovery Land Company's first European opening, CostaTerra Golf & Ocean Club. She has several years of experience in hotel operations, corporate development and DMC operations in both Portugal and Vietnam. Having lived in seven different countries, Sofia considers herself at home wherever there is interesting company, a beautiful setting and a great glass of wine. Her love of writing and a degree in English Literature from the University of Oxford led to a passion for travel, hospitality and the drive to share the same sense of home with those around her.
